Steps

1

Cut the scallion into 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 inch pieces and thread them onto bamboo skewers. Add sesame oil to a skillet and cook the skewers over low heat for 8 minutes on one side. Do not flip during this time.
2

Once the first side is nicely browned and has a good char, flip the skewers and cook the other side over low heat for another 8 minutes.
3

Sprinkle with a pinch of coarse salt, flip once more, and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until done. Add chili powder or shichimi togarashi to taste, if desired.
4

Try topping the cooked skewers with chili oil for extra flavor. Yuzu miso or dengaku miso are also delicious options.
5

Make diagonal cuts halfway through the surface of the scallion, then turn it over and make similar cuts on the other side before cutting into pieces.
6

If using thick scallions, stand them upright and sear the ends as well to make them extra tender.
